As much as I hate to bump down rob's post, well, the NBA Draft is on tonight, and GTB loyalists have done yeoman's work in recent years chronicling the night's proceedings in the comments. So, figured I should give us all that forum once again for THIS evening. Plus, POST COUNT.

If Sabonis is indeed going to Orlando, I'm pleased. I like him a lot. He's still young, has a great motor and rebounds like a beast, which traditionally translates. Not nearly as pleased as my friend Vitas will be though.

Thanks for the condolences, guys. As sad as we were to lose the dog, it was time. He was old, frail and his quality of life wasn't very good anymore. The older one was named Tinsley, Z.

Voting for Brexit is an implicit vote against the immigration being seen across Europe.

The repercussions of this vote will be fascinating. Does this empower Catalonia to try to secede from Spain? Does it push Scotland toward independence as an EU nation? How long will the untangling take? Will the currency impact devastate discretionary spending in the US that's reliant on Euro tourism (looking at you, Macy's and Nordstrom)?

Uncertainty is not good for markets, and it will take months to untangle the derivative consequences of all of this.

One upside of the definite market chaos we will see is that it will/should minimize Trump's rant about how Brexit is a good thing. Not that he ever avoids bragging about negative things.

gheorghe explains: brexit is gonna be a doozy. and it'll also look a lot like gheorghe explains: trump. bunch of old white people scared of brown people cratered the global economy, and it could happen again in november. that might be an oversimplification.

i played pickup soccer for two hours this morning. first time i've laced up the boots in five years or so. on the plus side, i didn't embarrass myself. on the negative, i want to die from the soreness.

i haven't played pickup soccer or basketball for a month. less fit and feel great! at some age, exercise is bad for you. we hiked several hours in moab this morning and i just woke up from a nap. i am sore. there is a tennis court and we brought our stuff, but i doubt we will play. supposed to hit 102 today here.

I play basketball 2-3 a week and run another 2-3 times a week but played soccer for the first time in a few years a couple weeks ago and was really sore the next day. Crazy how much we're affected by different movements. I'm thinking of trying to take up tennis again and am terrified of how my body will react.
